Dil Raju and Suresh Babu under pressure

Recently, the decision to hold a ban on screening films by the Theatre management across the Telugu States surprised many. This didn’t go well with Tollywood Actor cum Politician Pawan Kalyan who came out strongly against them. AP Cinematography Minister Kandula Durgesh also blamed few individuals as the reason behind this decision.

As per speculations, these are Dil Raju and his cousin Sirish, Suresh Babu, Asian Cinemas Sunil Narang, Mythri Movie Makers and lastly Allu Aravind. These people had been targeted on the social media platforms when this decision was taken by the Theatre management. But Allu Aravind was quick enough to hold a press conference where he said that he was not part of this decision or the group.

But there are other individuals who haven’t commented yet. Netizens also demand especially Dil Raju and Suresh Babu to come out and put their version just like Allu Aravind. There is a big debate currently on this issue, and if these Producers remain silent then it will only make it worse.

Akhanda 2 and The Raja Saab in Line for Sankranthi 2026

With Sankranthi 2026 shaping up as a prime release window, only Mega157 has been officially announced so far. This leaves ample room for another biggie to capitalize on the lucrative holiday season. Two strong contenders emerging for the sankranti race are Akhanda 2 and The Raja Saab.

Although Akhanda 2 was initially announced for a September 25, 2025 release, the recent confirmation of OG occupying that date makes a postponement almost certain. This opens up December or Sankranthi as the most viable alternatives for the Balakrishna-starrer. Given the franchise’s popularity and mass appeal, a Sankranthi release could amplify its reach significantly. On the other hand, The Raja Saab still has portions of song shoots and heavy CG work pending, making an immediate release unrealistic.

However, Sankranthi offers the ideal timeframe for the makers to wrap up post-production efficiently while also benefiting from the extended holiday period. Interestingly, both films are gearing up to launch their teasers within the next two weeks. Their promotional strategies could give strong hints about which project will lock the coveted Sankranthi slot. As it stands, fans eagerly await clarity, hoping at least one of these films makes it to the festive box office race.

Major Price Mismatch for Hari Hara Veera Mallu in Telugu States

Major Price Mismatch for Hari Hara Veera Mallu in Telugu States

Just weeks before its release, the highly anticipated film Hari Hara Veera Mallu faces setbacks..  A key cause of this delay is the large difference between the rates given by producers and the offers made by distributors. According to reports, producers are demanding a huge Rs. 140-150 crore for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana rights, but distributors are only ready to spend roughly Rs 110 crore.  This results in a large 30% valuation gap, causing concerns among trade circles.

One of the primary reasons for this gap is the perceived lack of strong buzz around the film. Despite Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s immense fan base, the promotional content so far hasn’t created the expected impact. The songs released did not gain much traction, and more importantly, the theatrical trailer is yet to be released. Distributors are holding back, waiting to gauge the film’s potential through the trailer.

To bridge this gap and generate strong momentum, the makers must release a power-packed trailer that can assure distributors of the film’s box-office potential. A compelling trailer could be the turning point in closing the business deals and setting the stage for a grand Sankranti release.

Janasena Strongly Counters Theatres Strike

Andhra Pradesh Cinematography and Tourism Minister Sri Kandula Durgesh has directed the Home Department’s Chief Secretary, Kumar Vishwajit, to initiate a detailed investigation into the exhibitors’ decision to shut down theatres from June 1. The directive comes amid rising concerns that a group of individuals may be influencing this move for vested interests.

Reports have surfaced suggesting that certain parties are exerting pressure to close theatres ahead of the release of the much-anticipated film ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’. In response, Minister Durgesh held discussions with top officials to look into the background of this abrupt decision and identify those responsible.

He further stressed the need to examine whether exhibitors and distributors have formed a cartel and are collectively making decisions that could harm the industry. The government aims to understand the wider implications of this potential shutdown, including the number of films that may be affected and the resulting impact on tax revenues.

The state is now gathering comprehensive data to assess the financial and cultural consequences of the proposed theatre closure. Authorities are committed to ensuring transparency and protecting the interests of filmmakers, theatre owners, and audiences alike.

This decision to ban the screening of films came as a shock to the industry circles and mostly Tollywood Actor Pawan Kalyan. The Actor expressed his anger against the Distributors and Exhibitors for taking this decision.

Andhra Pradesh Cinematography Minister, Kandula Durgesh, held a press conference yesterday where he categorically opined that there were four invisible personalities behind this decision. He also added that their objective was to disturb the release plan of Hari Hara Veera Mallu which stars Pawan Kalyan in the lead role.

Netizens then started trending the name of Producer Allu Aravind, accusing him of taking part in this. The Producer has now officially countered this with a press meet. Allu Aravind said that he was not part of this decision and revealed that he has only around 15 theatres out of the 1500 theatres in Telugu States.

He also added, “Deciding to stop the screening of films is a bad decision. We must also not try to hold the release of Pawan Kalyan’s film. I also informed my distributors and associate producers to skip this meet, which was held recently about the theatre strike.”

Tripti Dimri in Spirit: Fans not fully convinced

After the exit of Deepika Padukone, the team of Spirit had been on a hunt before finalising Tripti Dimri for the female lead. This news excited few, but the majority of the netizens felt that it was not a better choice. They hoped that the team had selected another Actress who enjoys a big popularity in Bollywood currently.

Tripti Dimri rose to fame recently with Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, where she played the second female lead. She managed to grab a few Bollywood films after Animal, but none matched its success. But Sandeep Reddy Vanga took no time in selecting the Actress, and he must be very determined about this. This is indeed a golden opportunity yet again for Tripti.

The pre-production works of Spirit are going on and the Director also had begun the Music sittings with Composer Harshavardhan Rameshwar. The film will start the shoot soon, and there are huge expectations on the film due to the combo. Fans and Audience expect the film to become a Pan Indian sensation easily.
